Animal Ethics Committee

Taronga has its own Animal Ethics Committee whose role is to ensure that the animals involved in any research or teaching are treated humanely, responsibly and justifiably.  

The three Rs 

Taronga implements the principle of the three Rs (Replacement, Reduction and Refinement) at all stages of animal care to ensure the use of animals is justified, and that any harm to animals is avoided or minimised.

If you wish to conduct research with any of Taronga’s staff or animals, please contact the Taronga AEC Administrator.
